Not for a bit. It's gotten sidetracked due to my Baldwin DRX-6-4-2000 project. Last I looked, I had the front and rear running boards put back on, but the middle ones were waiting for me to figure out what plumbing had to run under them, and since it seems no 2 were built alike, it's confusing as heck. I also wasn't happy with the look of the large rivets that I'd put on the front sides of the firebox.
Now that I can print my own detail parts, that paves the way for things to move forward, just as soon as I can get a few other projects wrapped up. In addition to the DRX-6-4-2000, I'm in the middle of repainting a VO-1000 (green) and an H-15-44 (blue. The model is technically an H-16-44, but the only visible difference between the two is the cladding over the undercarriage detail and the lack of full side railings. 1508 had the cladding removed while still in blue paint, and was also one of the few units that was retrofitted with full side railings, so 1508 it'll be). Getting appropriate decals is another story. Had them custom printed for the DRX-6-4-2000, but I'm hoping I can scrounge up what I need for the other 2 from leftovers I have.
